Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is a biofuel made by the hydrocracking or hydrogenation of vegetable oil. Hydrocracking breaks big molecules into smaller ones using hydrogen while hydrogenation adds hydrogen to molecules. These methods can be used to create substitutes for gasoline, diesel, propane, kerosene and other chemical feedstock.

Renewable Diesel, also known as green diesel, is produced through methods like hydrocracking or Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, typically using higher quality feedstocks. In contrast, HVO undergoes a hydrotreatment process, allowing it to utilize a broader range of feedstocks, including lower-quality oils and wastes.

2025年2月10日 · While HVO is about 6 per cent less dense than diesel, it delivers a higher heating value equaling more energy per litre. The study found maintenance requirements between HVO and diesel are basically the same. While biodiesel blends can have an impact on service intervals, that wasn’t the case with HVO.

2022年7月1日 · Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) is a diesel-like fuel that can be produced without fossil resources by processing renewable waste lipids. Cummins offers an entire line of diesel generator sets that are approved for use with paraffinic fuels such as HVO in Power Generation standby applications.

2025年1月1日 · Hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) is becoming a widely accepted renewable drop-in alternative fuel to diesel. However, conventional diesel combustion does not fully exploit HVO’s superior physicochemical parameters.

HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) is a renewable fuel that helps to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and cut CO2 emissions. It can be used in all modern DEUTZ engines without modification and offers a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

2023年3月28日 · In the quest for sustainable energy solutions, two contenders have emerged prominently: Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel and Biodiesel. Both promise a greener …

HVO is a replacement for fossil diesel that can be used in all current KOHLER® generators (except product line D) without any modification or impact on warranty conditions.

2023年12月8日 · HVO 100 is a paraffinic renewable diesel fuel produced by hydrotreating vegetable oils, waste oils, and waste animal fats. The hydrotreatment process uses hydrogen to remove oxygen and transform these fats and oils into branched hydrocarbon chains like those in petroleum diesel, creating what’s termed a “drop-in” fuel.

Most modern diesel engines are compatible with HVO, given its similar chemical structure to traditional diesel. However, while most newer engines can seamlessly transition to HVO, here are some steps to ensure compatibility:
